The beautiful city of Chiang Mai is also known as the "Rose of the North" and that too for good reasons. Rich in history and fascinating architecture, Chiang Mai reveals a different side of Thailand which you will not find in the coastal areas of the country. With more than 300 ancient temples spread across the city, Chiang Mai will offer you a subtle sense of tranquility and peace. The temperature here is much cooler than that of Bangkok or the southern islands of Thailand and that will give you enough time to explore the town without breaking a sweat.
